If "Code of the Reinsurer Entity or Collateral Provider, preceded by type of code" (C0010) is reported then these columns should be reported (IR.30.05, Bank of England rule IR_bv0060)

A blocking check on the reinsurer and collateral provider entity information template (IR.30.05), in the annual solo (ARS), annual group (ARG) and annual third-country branch (ARB) returns.

The rule in plain words

If "Code of the Reinsurer Entity or Collateral Provider, preceded by type of code" (C0010) is reported then these columns should be reported

This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit. It runs only when your filing indicators mark IR.30.05 as reported.

The cells it reads

Reinsurer and collateral provider entity information (IR.30.05.01.01)

  • C0030Legal name of reinsurer or collateral provider
  • C0040Type of reinsurer or collateral provider
  • C0050Country of residency

  • C0080Internal rating

Which returns it applies to

Line4 Check runs it on annual solo (ARS), annual group (ARG) and annual third-country branch (ARB) returns on Bank of England taxonomy 2.2.0. The Bank of England applies it to annual third-country branch (ARB), annual solo (ARS) and annual group (ARG) returns, as a blocking check.
